Well, you missed a LOT of tragedies but if you're going to load more parts, that's good. Also, you may want to listen to the video before uploading, to correct mispronunciations like for Nova Scotia, Chernobyl and Carpathia

[@Ev-Dog7]

You should’ve covered the Nanjing Massacre. This is quite possibly one of the worst and most overlooked tragedies in human history. In Japan’s invasion of China during WW2, they committed several atrocities against the Chinese, indiscriminately between civilians and soldiers. Estimates say 200,000 civilians were murdered. Up to 80,000 women and children were raped, and 30-40K prisoners of war were executed. Many of the war crimes Japan committed were displayed as “for fun” including mass arson, a pregnant woman’s stomach being cut open and extracting the child, mass artillery fire on civilian villages, two Japanese officers competing to see who could kill 100 people by sword fastest (this was covered like a sporting event), and so many more violent and horrific events. It could honestly warrant its own video.

The title of this video should instead be "most well-known tragedies " or "well-publicized tragedies," as there have been many other tragic events that claimed more lives and caused greater devastation but are not as deeply ingrained in Western culture. 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, Wolyn massacre, Unit 731 and Rwandan genocide are a couple examples that come to mind, but there are many others.

[@toxic_cooper7308]

That is the thing. But the title should be "most well-known tragedies in the US" because how in the hell does someone fail to include Nanjing, Unit 731 (as you said), Tianmen Square or stuff like that in favour of "Las Vegas Shooting"... there's so many mass shootings over there, they themselves don't even know the school shooting with the highest casualty number

[@blockmasteryt9025]

As well as the hamas 7/10 terrorist attack, over 1700 people killed, but im pretty sure he simply didn't put it in the video because its debatable if it was justified or not. Im from israel so i obviously think it was wrong and a terrorist attack, but i am very open to know what other people think

[@lightdreamer_]

Oh boy, as a Titanic nerd, I must correct you and add some stuff. First of all, the sinking could have been avoided if the Titanic hadn't turned. A head on collision would have damaged the ship greatly, but it was made to withstand that and if directed properly was actually unsinkable. The Carpathia wasn't the closest ship. There was another, but they didn't think the Titanic was actually in danger. Lifeboats weren't insufficient. They were the right amount, if the ship had collided normally and been evacuated to another ship. Even nowadays, there isn't 1 lifeboat space per person on the ship. The culprits of the situation are the crew, for: -Turning when they shouldn't have -Retarded the start of the evacuation. -Not filling the lifeboats to capacity. -Not doing any safety drills. This has been your local Titanic nerd commenter

[@Kiperfusion]

I think there was meant to be a lifeboat drill that day, but they didn't do it.

[@bee7137]

gosh i remember the Itaewon crush. i was seeing a kpop group in Toronto on the 30th and 31st. the news was just so sad, the crowd was being extra cautious that night, never seen a more organized lineup by fans before. the members of the group looked pretty sad, i think they may have known the one trainee who passed in it. they requested that we not post any photos or videos of the concert until the official mourning period was done. as far as i could see, people really respected that. the group has a pretty small fanbase (at the time) so everyone knew everyone. it was rough.

Electric Soldier Porygon. On December 16th, 1997, an episode of Pokemon aired in Japan called Dennō Senshi Porygon or Electric Soldier Porygon. 4.6M households tuned in to watch. However, around the end of the episode, there were flashing lights which caused 685 people to have seizures (keep in mind children are significantly more likely to have photosensitive epilepsy.) Thankfully, no one died, but hundreds were hospitalized so it was still a pretty big deal 3. Tulsa Race Massacre. This is a very long story, but the jist of it is that on May 31st, 1921 a bunch of white supremacists attacked and looted the Greenwood (aka Black Wall Street) district of Tulsa for 2 days.

You can include the 2004 Boxing Day/ Indian Ocean tsunami disaster for part 2 - which is regarded as the one of the deadliest tsunamis and natural disasters in history. In a matter of hours, entire towns were wiped out, and 230,000 lives were lost. Before the disaster, both locals and tourists had little awareness of tsunamis, and with no early warning systems in place, few recognized the signs of impending danger. Lots of footage (that you can find online) from that day shows people standing by the shoreline, watching the waves pull back, unaware of what was coming. I remember a video of a man turning away from the towering wave, as if accepting his fate, before vanishing. Truly devastating.

You should have covered the Tenerife Airport Disaster. Although it wasn’t one of the deadliest events in history, it was still the deadliest in aviation history. It happened on March 27, 1977, at Los Rodeos Airport (now Tenerife North Airport) in Spain. A series of tragic events unfolded after two Boeing 747 jumbo jets, operated by KLM and Pan Am, collided on the runway. The disaster was precipitated by dense fog and a series of miscommunications between air traffic control and the flight crews. As the KLM flight attempted to take off without proper clearance, it collided with the Pan Am flight, which was taxiing on the runway. The accident resulted in 583 fatalities, making it the deadliest aviation disaster in history. Only 61 survivors were found among the wreckage. The tragedy led to significant changes in international aviation regulations, particularly regarding communication protocols and cockpit procedures.

The nearest ship that could assist was the Californian but they failed to respond due to the Marconi officer going to sleep and the captain saying “if he was in distress the rockets would be red”( roughly what he said)

[@Lucas-no6fd]

But in maritime flares, colors don't really matter during that time. What did matter was the flares going off at the wrong time. In order to single a ship that you need help, you need to set the flares off in a set amount time, I think, like a minute, but they set them off every 5 minutes and so they were very confused about it. Also the California was surrounded by icebergs, so they didn't want to risk sinking them selfs. Also, the carpathia, the ship that rescued the survivors of the titanic, almost hit an iceberg too when it was going to the titanic.

In fact no, the Californian was off because they were not going to continue due to the ice structures that had been generated, two hours before the Titanic accident the Californian warned about the ice that had formed but the communicator told him to shut up and let him work, so the Californian turned off engines and communications, no one found out about the sinking until they arrived in New York

[@Lucas-no6fd]

@Emi.fisherman Well, he told California to shut up because he was very tired because he been up for almost 24 hours and he was sending a message that was very far away and he turned up volume to hear the replies but the California interrupted the Titanic and because the volume was all the way up, it was very loud in his ears.

Hiroshima’s Nuke only had 15,000 tons. The US literally dropped the equivalent of 30+ nukes just to show off. This destabilization led to the cambodian genocide of 2-3million deaths. Way more devastating than 7 people dying. There’s also the Anfal campaign where the US supplied Saddam with chemical weapons to fight Iran. Saddam mass dropped these nerve agents to ethnically cleanse entire villages of kurds. Innocent kurds that sided with Iran to protest for their own independent country. He gassed over 100,000 kurdish villagers all funded by the US. We don’t talk about those tragedies? Yet we talk about 7 US citizens dying as being more important than 2,000,000 cambodians being massacred or 100,000 kurds being gassed. Lol

For oil related disasters I think Piper Alpha would come before Deepwater Horizon, not to downplay Deepwater Horizon at all, it was an awful tragedy, but more people died on Piper Alpha (167) and it had a massive effect on the industry and still shapes a lot of the way the industry does things to this day.
